Upcoming Summer Releases: July

Summer
is usually a time of much relaxation, spending time with friends and family,
and overall enjoying life! One of the best things to do on a hot, sunny day
(other than lounge in a pool), is to go watch a movie in a refreshing, cool
theatre! So, here we are, bringing to you some of the hottest movies that you
should check out this month!

There
are numerous promising movies to release this sweltering July. First up, releasing this
Friday is the heavily publicized and much awaited Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Starring Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor, this
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra production is based on the life of the esteemed track
and field athlete, Milkha Singh. Despite having a great soundtrack, amazing
actors and an even better storyline, what makes this film truly unique and a
must watch is the fact that all profits will be used for disadvantaged athletes.
So, catch the movie this weekend!

July
19th brings to us the Prabhu Deva directed, Ramaiya
Vastavaiya. Starring Shruti Hassan and fresh blood Girish Kumar, the movie
is a remake of a popular Telugu movie that was itself a remake of Maine Pyar Kiya. The movie boasts of a
decent soundtrack with the romantic ballad "Jeene Laga Hoon" being particularly
popular. Also releasing on the same day is D-Day,
a crime-thriller starring Arjun Rampal, Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Shruti
Hassan and Huma Qureshi. Directed by Nikhil Advani, is the story of an elite
task force that is sent to Pakistan on a mission to bring back the Most Wanted
Man in India to face justice!

July
26th sees the release ofI Love NY, a
romantic comedy starring the unique pairing of Sunny Deol and Kangna Ranaut.
The movie is essentially a story of a chance encounter between two polar opposite
people on New Year's Eve and how the fallout changes their lives forever. Also
releasing on this day is romance Issaq, starring
Prateik Babbar. The movie is essentially a twist on the classic tale of Romeo
and Juliet, with two lovers from rival families choosing to take the path of
love over hatred. Finally, the third movie to watch out for on this Friday is Bajatey Raho,
a comedy starring Vinay
Pathak, Ranvir Shorey and Tusshar Kapoor. The movie is a revenge comedy
with four victims taking their revenge on a conman in the most hilarious
way possible!
This movie also marks the Bollywood comeback of RDB, the popular Punjabi
bhangra and hip-hop group, after the death of their third member and
brother,
Kuly, last year. The brainchild behind popular anthems like "Shera Di
Kaum" and "Singh is Kinng", the brothers have once again created an
amazing fusion piece for the
title song of the movie.

And with that, we conclude our brief tour of the movies
hitting theatres near you this July! While there is almost no big banner
film or one boasting of Bollywood biggies, there is a wide variety of
genre available
this month. Which ones are you most looking forward to? Let us know
